Actions are data-driven components that fire on named channels, enabling composition without custom scripting.</p> <p>For architecture details, component properties, and creating custom actions in C++, see the <a href="../../../../framework/core/systems/gs_actions/">Framework API reference</a>.</p> <p> </p> <h2 id="contents">Contents</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#how-actions-work">How Actions Work</a></li> <li><a href="#triggering-actions">Triggering Actions</a></li> <li><a href="#built-in-actions">Built-In Actions</a></li> <li><a href="#common-patterns">Common Patterns</a></li> <li><a href="#quick-reference">Quick Reference</a></li> <li><a href="#glossary">Glossary</a></li> <li><a href="#see-also">See Also</a></li> </ul> <hr> <h2 id="how-actions-work">How Actions Work</h2> <p>An Action is a component you attach to an entity.
